PROJECT SUMMARY for MARANDA - Marine application of a new fuel cell powertrain validated in demanding arctic conditions Project main objectives: Develop an emission-free hydrogen fuelled PEMFC based hybrid powertrain system for marine applications. Validate systems (3 x 82.5 kw) in test benches and on board the research vessel Aranda. Global positioning vs international state-of the art Automotive stacks and systems are used for the first time in marine applications. The first marine application in arctic conditions. 3

PROJECT PROGRESS/ACTIONS - Environmental assessment 40% Achievement to-date 1 st LCA completed 25% 50% 75% Two LCAs complete Status at month 20 of a 48 months project at date 01/11/2017 For very low total use hours (lifetime 30 x 8 h = 240 h) global CO2 emissions are larger than with conventional diesel engines and fuel. 40 MWh produced with H2-FC APU When total use hours are low FC system and H2 storage dominate in LCA calculations. 40 MWh produced with the marine diesel oil engines For by-product hydrogen the choice of allocation method (energy, economical value, mass) has a large impact.

Risks and Challenges Description of risk A delay in the development of PEMFC system for marine use. Both FCS and hydrogen storage containers need to realised so that class approval could be possible (DNV GL-classed) Road transport of the closed sea container with full hydrogen bottles is not possible. Risk-mitigation measures Monthly TC meetings keeping the project status updated. Mapping optional suppliers for main components. Resources are transferred from other tasks and work packages if needed. A change of the hydrogen storage container to TPED certified composite bottle bundles. Comments Unexpected major delay of stack component delivery. Factory acceptance testing (FAT) of the first fuel cell system delayed. Unexpected risk (not in DoA) Unexpected risk (not in DoA) 12
Communications Activities During the first 18 months the project has communicated the possibilities of hydrogen fuel cells in marine applications. The main event was NaviGate 2018, international fair for marine professionals, organised at the Turku 16.-17.5. 2018. MARANDA project was presented in it s own booth. MARANDA project has organised 3 workshops and has participated in 8 other conferences or workshops. The results of MARANDA project will communicated by participation in conferences/workshops and in one more major marine event. A summer campaign to take place last summer, which will target the public using any ferry connection to a European island. MARANDA stand at NaviGate 2018 trade fair (Turku, Finland). 13
Horizontal Activities - A business analysis tool and marine advisory board (MAB) work Vessel tool development Supporting the assessment of the adoption of HFC for more than 40 vessel types Use case selection With Maranda Advisory board, identifying realistic HFC vessel scenarios LH2 delivery chain analysis Leveraging PersEE in house planning tool, establishing LH2 supply chain component database and models End to End analysis Combining all above to compute vessel and delivery chain analysis HFC GoTo Marine market strategy To be delivered during second half of the project 14
EXPLOITATION PLAN/EXPECTED IMPACT Exploitation (result) Impact (Exploitation plan) Direct exploitation of the project results will be done by the project partners: VTT: Ejector model and experimental characterisation in ejector test-bench. OMB: Design, manufacturing and testing hydrogen storage at system level. PersEE: HFC Vessel analysis tool PCS: Stack durability test results ABB: HES880 drive operating at 690 V(AC) SH: Cost reduction of fuel cell system VTT: Research services for fuel cell companies OMB: a wider and more complex range of products. PersEE: The vessel tool is expected to be used by all project partners during dissemination events. PCS: Enables application of PowerCell S3 stack in more heavy-duty applications demanding long lifetime ABB: New markets and applications for HES880 SH: Enlarge the market for Swiss Hydrogen 15
